Answer 1

Answer:

LiBr.

Explanation:

• Li has 3.0 electrons in his atom and its electronic configuration is 2,1.

• Br has 35.0 electrons i his atom and its electronic configuration 2,8,18,7.

• Li has only one electron in its outermost shell and needs losing it to reach stability.

• While, Br has 7 electrons in its outermost shell and needs gaining 1.0 electron to reach stability "octet rule".
